Engagement/Wedding Bands

[Hope0925]

My partner and I celebrated the completion of our first Camino on June 20 by getting engaged in front of the Cathedral. We are both in our fifties, long past wanting anything to do with diamonds, and are thinking of plain gold bands. What we would like, however, is to incorporate the Camino shell into the bands. We were wondering if any of you artistic types might want to share any ideas you might have on how to do this. Time is of the essence since the €2 rings I bought for the occasion in Belorado are already falling apart!

Congratulations on the happy union!

I quite like these rings with simple engravings:

although for a wedding ring, I would skip the flechas and keep one engraved Compostela.
The simple design works really well, I think.

Sorry, I should have said that we are having the bands made from an old gold bracelet.

That's Cool!

How romantic is that congratulation. As for rings I've no idea at all.

What a great thing to do. There's plenty of ideas for shell designs if you take a look at Google images and Pinterest.

Since you are in Ontario, and while I know it's not around the corner, there is an amazing custom jeweller in Elora. So if you are in this part of the province, it's a beautiful town and worth having a look. But I am sure any custom jeweller could do what you want. A simple engraved scallop shell design would be beautiful.
Congratulations on both your Camino and engagement.

I'll have to Google Elora to see how far away it is. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Totally off topic but I saw the heading and instantly assumed you meant music... But I'm a singer in a wedding band

Ha, that's funny! Sorry, no gig for you. Btw, I have the same picture with Ernie in Pamplona.

This is not as artistic a solution, but would probably be quicker: Opt for simple wedding bands but have the image of a shell inscribed inside the ring, along with dates, sentiments, etc.

Interesting idea. Thank you!
